7. Michelle Waterson

If you’re really looking for a girl who can kick your butt, look no farther than the girls of the MMA. The majority of them are smokin’ hot, primarily because you know they could take you down without batting a pretty eyelash. Michelle, however, is known as the Karate Hottie for a reason. She’s only 5’3”, but she will beat you up big time.

There you have it, the sexiest athletes of 2011! I know this list was small, though, so I might have missed your favorite athlete. If so, I’m sorry! But don’t be afraid to let me know about my misstep. Who’s your favorite athlete, what do they do, and why do you like them?
